Finally got around to (test) placing the
Blank Black Cherry POM caps I found in Taiwan...
Thank you Cherry for labeling the proper rows under your keys! It made my life so much easier!

As far as feel goes, I think I'm liking the slippery POM feel.
Theses keycaps also make each keypress _super_ quiet! I'm a fairly gentle typer, but even when bottoming out on MX Reds, it sounds like I have o-rings dampening them without the o-ring feeling! It's crazy!
I think it's probably a combination of thick keys + POM being even denser than PBT.
Cons:
-F&J scoops seem a bit loose? I'm not sure if this happens on regular scooped Cherry DS/Dyesub caps, but when I was placing the scooped keys onto the switch, half a side would raise slightly up if I pressed down on one side. The cap ends up not sitting completely flush when that happens (and both sides can raise if you press down with a bit of force on the opposite end of the scoop). Is it due to lower friction when placing POM keycaps on POM stems?
-Bubbled Windows keys are thin POM.
~0.8mm vs ~1.5mm on all other keycaps.
-Indents are visible on top of keys longer than 1u if you're viewing directly from the top. At extreme angles, you can see the stems on 1u keys.
-(Debatable) Off-center spacebar stem (but still works if you place it on a center stemmed keyboard. Will be a bit wobbly though).

Scooped F&J, nib on numpad "5".
Bit of tape was placed on Caps Lock to keep it in place
